Can you guys literally not discuss African or Indian cuisine without devolving into this kind of meaningless shitposting.

It's like you've never even tasted any of either cuisine.

>>7037389I'm a big fan of Nigerian and West African food. Maafe (peanut stew, usually with beef, root vegetables, and greens, really easy to make), jollof rice, fufu, akara, edikangikong, and efo riro, all were good-great. I have a friend from Sierra Leone who makes me food sometimes, I don't know many of the dishes she's made but they've ALL been blow-your-mouth-off spicy and all delicious. Some were rlly similar to Nigerian stuff I've had.

I'm only really experienced other than that with Ethiopian cuisine, which is a shame. I'd love to try some other African foods, or visit someday.

>>7037389I find it hard to believe that tomatoes, cultivated in South America and used for culinary purposes in Mexico, are part of African cuisine, but I suppose tomatoes and peppers are everywhere. Was food just shitty and boring everywhere before spicy peppers from the Americas cross-pollinated to every culture?

It literally transformed the world. If potatoes had never come to Europe, it's very possible their populace would still be suffering for it. Sweet potatoes and corn in China saved much of the rural pop. from starvation, and likewise in Africa. Chilis were adopted both for flavor and for food preservation purposes.

Read 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus and (more on this point) 1493: Exploring the World Columbus Created, both by Charles C. Mann, amazing books.

I've always thought Ethiopian food looked tasty, but I've never had the chance to try it.The food I had in Uganda was the worst though - plain boiled or grilled fish with plain boiled plantains or rice.

>>7038366I recently tried ethiopian food for the first time and was underwhelmed. The flat bread has a very odd texture. The meat and veg dishes were all mushy, the ones that weren't bland were fire hot. Just my opinion though.

>>7037433That stuff has so many different names. My parents are from SA where it's called "pap", so I always had weird Africa food as a child and that was my favourite, particularly kreemy meal brand. For breakfast as a porridge with some butter in is just amazing. It never tasted like soap to me, was always just so creamy.

>>7038400Not the anon you're responding to but your assumption is that this board is otherwise not shit when politics isn't discussed. /ck/ may be one of the slowest boards on 4chan but honestly it's just as cancerous as /pol/. Everything on here devolves into worthless shitposting and fighting within 1-2 posts

>>7038366Ethiopian is really interesting. There's a place in London called Lalibela which is particularly good; it's a great place to take people because the idea of serving everything on a giant sourdough pancake is so alien but also attractive to westerners.

>>7039924Yeah but he trolled them and upset their sensitive feels so they've been waving their dicks all over every board since then whining that things they don't like exist and anyone who disagrees is a feminist sjw faggot jew reddit tumblr big fat meany stupid face.

>>7037487I'm pretty sure most, if not all of their cattle are not taurine cattle like the ones in North America and Europe(aside from the few that were probably brought over). They are of the zebu variety, or a third species of auroch was domesticated separately from the european and asian aurochs but later mashed together with the domesticated asian aurochs.

Being that they're a different species from our taurine cattle, maybe thats why but I hear zebu is tough stuff.
